Re: Has anyone taken the MS Office Specialist Certification? Is it worth it?

[Tony Chung <tonyc -at- tonychung -dot- ca>]

As with all training, would you derive personal benefit from the
courses? If you ask any company if "this" certification would
guarantee you a job, you will not get a direct answer. By law, if they
agree and you don't get a job, you could sue them.

Never take course with te expectation of marketability. We have all
worked with MBAs who knew squat out of university, and didn't
demonstrate the competence to ever catch up.
